    Hello, I'm Gail Nobles, and today we’re diving into a delightful little slice of cereal history that might just tickle your memory!

    Back in 1928, Kellogg’s Rice Krispies made their grand entrance onto store shelves. It wasn’t long before they introduced us to their cheerful trio of elves: Snap, Crackle, and Pop. You remember them, don’t you? Those iconic little figures who made breakfast feel just a bit more magical.

    Let’s take a charming walk down memory lane together. Back in the 1970s, I had four delightful little dolls that bore a striking resemblance to Snap, Crackle, and Pop. But there were 4 dolls. Now, I can't say for sure if they were indeed those beloved characters, but they certainly had their distinctive features, complete with adorable white elf hats. I considered them as Snap, Crackle, and Pop when I was a child. What a playful time that was! One, sadly, over time, he vanished—lost to the ages, like so many childhood treasures. But every time I watched those catchy commercials, I couldn't help but notice something curious. I turned to my mom and said, “Why are there only three elves on the Rice Krispie Commercials ?” To my surprise, she replied, “I think I remember a fourth one from way back when.”

    And she was right! In the cereal’s rich history, there was indeed a fourth elf named Pow. He made his first appearance in a commercial in 1954, zooming around in a helicopter, a cheerful addition to the trio. But just like that, after only two commercials, Pow seemed to disappear into thin air—never to be seen or heard again. It's as though he flew off on a sugary adventure of his own!

    So, while we enjoy our crunchy Rice Krispies today, let's also take a moment to remember the enchanting little stories that come with them—like the playful mystery of Pow, the elf who briefly joined the ranks of Snap, Crackle, and Pop, and then vanished back into cereal lore. Isn’t it fun to think about all those little details that make our favorite breakfasts so much more than just food? Happy crunching!

    Story by: Gail Nobles

    Gladys Knight was in a Kentucky fried chicken classic radio ad in the 1980s. Gladys Knight's mom, Gladys, and Bubba starred in the commercial. They were talking about an amateur contest.

    So today we’re digging into something finger licking good. We’re talking about Kentucky Fried Chicken with flavor takes flight like a classic tune.

    We’ve got the superstar, the one and only Gladys Knight a lady who knows how to deliver a soulful sound just like KFC delivers those crispy golden bites of happiness. That’s the magic of KFC.

    KFC makes every treat yourself to a feast that’s as unforgettable as Gladys Knight greatest hits. Gladys Knight soulful vocals helped to create a strong association between her music and the brain. The ad was part of KFC‘s broader marketing efforts during that time aiming to appeal to a wide audience and enhance the brand image.

    Knight recorded hits through the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s with her family group Gladys Knight & the Pips, which included her brother Merald "Bubba" Knight and cousins William Guest and Edward Patten.

    Their collaboration represents a beautiful blend of flavor for KFC. proving that great music and great food truly have the power to bring people together.

  • The Four Tops - Velveeta 6:13:24 9.53 PM

    The Four Tops - Velveeta 6:13:24 9.53 PM

    Intro by: Gail Nobles

    Ladies and gentlemen, today's topic is about the Four Tops Velveeta Shells and Cheese commercial. You remember the song by the Four Tops titled It’s The Same Old Song. It was recorded for the Motown label. The song was released in 1965 as the second single from their second album. The song is today one of the top signatures and was reportedly from initial concept to commercial release in 24 hours. It reached number five on the billboard hot 100 and number two on the billboard R&B chart. it also reached number 34 in the UK.

    The group appeared in a Velveeta Shells and Cheese commercial where they spoofed It's The Same Old Song with something called It's Not The Same Old Side. This commercial features the group performing and outfits of blue and yellow to match the colors of the Velveeta ashells and Cheese box.

    Commercials like that are enjoyable to watch doing commercial breaks. It's nice hearing a Motown hit in a commercial. The Four Tops for Velveeta It's Not The Same Old Side was made in February 1996 according to YouTube videos.
